Summary image/weather icons setup

Title for Weather Summary image• • • Enter your station name here, and you can change

the font/colour using the buttons

Show the summary image on the Web page• • • Select this if you want the summary.gif

image to appear on your Weather Display default Web page

Update image, but dont show on page• • • This could be useful if you still want the

summary.gif file uploaded via FTP to your Web page for others to link to, but not actually

shown on your Weather Display default Web page.

Use the WM918/WMR918/WMR968/Davis VP/La Crosse 2310 forecast icon for

updating the icons• • • Only applies to the specified weather stations, and so you can set

the main page Icon to the forecast icon provided by this weather station

Show the WM918/WMR918/WMR968/Davis VP/La Crosse 2310 forecast icon on

summary image as well• • • Only applies to the specified weather stations, and so you can

set the summary image Icon to the forecast icon provided by this weather station

Snow Icon temperature threshold• • • Rain (or melted snow) recorded when the

temperature is below this value (°C), a snow Icon will appear instead of a rain icon

(however using METAR update will override this)

Have sunrise/set or moon as separate image• • • If you have this selected, then the

weather Icon will still be visible on the summary image, with the moon or sunrise/set icon

to the right of it (this makes the summary.gif file then wider at nighttime, so do not include

any width= and height= html commands if you are creating your own weather page)

Show the icons on the main screen• • • Normally selected, but if you clear, then a blank

area will appear where there is normally an icon

Show no icons at all• • • Normally not selected, use this to not have the weather icon on

the summary image either

Show the moon icon (at night time)• • • Normally selected, this will show the moon icon

(current phase is displayed) on the summary image. Note, make sure you have set the

lat/long correctly under view, sun/moon

Show the estimated cloud base• • • This number (feet or meters, select under setup,

units), shows the estimated cloud height (but clouds do not actually have to appear at this

height), and you must also enter your altitude, under setup, units (this is used in the

calculation, which is based on your stations dew point). It is not the height above your

station, but the height above sea level.

Icon update by downloaded METAR• • • If you want the weather icons to be updated and

match a chosen METAR you have Weather Display downloading (see under setup,

FTP/Internet setup, FTP download/METAR), then select this (use the downloaded METAR to

update the icon)

Use coded instead of decoded to update the icons• • • Normally not selected, this option

uses some of the abbreviations for weather conditions instead of the description in the

METAR.

Include extra weather conditions from downloaded METAR• • • A good idea to have

this selected: the text description of the weather conditions appears on the summary image,

under the icon

But leave the icon to be updated by your station weather• • • Not normaly selected,

with this option, the weather conditions text can still be displayed (as per previous), but the
